Some nice type here, some not-so-nice. This site does a better job showcasing some of them than their respective Foundries/gallery pages do (Signalist, Xtreem), which is always something to consider when looking at typefaces. http://fontsinuse.com/ used to be a good resource to see different typefaces in the wild, but now it's pretty watered down with crap. You might still be able to find some gems there though.

Can't stress enough how fantastic the MyFonts email newsletters (http://www.myfonts.com/newsletters/) are if you enjoy being up to speed or collecting inspiration for later use. The FontShop ones (http://www.fontshop.com/blog/newsletters/) are also pretty good.



Hi mnicole, I’m the proprietor of Typographica and Fonts In Use. Glad you like(d) them. On FIU quality: one person’s crap is another’s treasure, so we don’t limit what can be contributed as long as type is clearly present. But if you want to filter your experience to just the best (as selected us) you can click on Blog Only or Staff Picks Only nav at the top right.


Hi Stewf, thanks! That definitely wasn't a dig at your curation/aesthetic - just a reality of the site becoming popular. Didn't even notice the filters you pointed out, so those will definitely help!
